The livestock industry lost VND80 trillion because of the COVID-19 epidemic
Leaders of Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development are classifying losses in the livestock industry to request the Government to grant a support package when the COVID-19 epidemic causes the livestock industry to lose an estimated VND80 trillion.
vov.vn announced the above information on October 29, and quoted Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan as saying that the ministry is making recommendations and classifying damages to request the Government to grant VND30 trillion support packages for Vietnam Airlines.
Although the amount of damage caused by the pandemic is very large, according to Minister Hoan, in the process of aggregating the damage, the ministry encountered many difficulties. Because the livestock industry is difficult to quantify, he explained. Because each household has a different quantity of farming, selling at different times of up and down prices. Vietnamese farmers still mainly farm in the form of households, in small numbers. The number of concentrated, large-scale, and managed farms accounts for a very small percentage.
Since 2018, Vietnam has had Decree 58 on agricultural insurance, but so far it has not come to life.
Mr. Le Minh Hoan added that because farmers are not familiar with buying insurance, for other industries, such as Vietnam Airlines, because it is an enterprise, the statistics are always clear, complete, and can be reported immediately to the Government extent of damage to plan support. Therefore, Mr. Hoan suggested that livestock households must register their businesses, in order to make credit support and risk support more favorable.
As early as June, leaders of Vietnam Airlines called for help, if the government does not “pour money” to support, by August the airline will run out of money to operate. Recently, the aviation industry wants to borrow an additional VND 30 trillion to rescue private airlines affected by the COVID-19 epidemic.
At the end of September 2021, leaders of the State Bank asked credit institutions to try to reduce lending interest rates and unsecured loans for aviation enterprises. As for the proposed credit package of VND30 trillion-plus VND24 trillion of the current outstanding debt of the aviation industry, Deputy Governor of the State Bank Dao Minh Tu said it is not too big.
